Why did you delete my comment? Talk to me. Did you take the account? Give me something to work off of. My account has been deleted!

Are you the one who took my account?

no i didnt take your account. I just go by a phrase. there are two types of people. ones who pony up and do what they want to accomplish or those who complain they arent good enough. You wanted to lecture me about popularity when you were the one who gave up.

tbh moreover its a phrase i picked up from my mother. But still its true. I haven't given up my art over popularity. I still do my comic dispite it having a small fanbase. I'm proud of my work and effort.

about your account. why would i take it?? I have my own. i didnt even know who the heck you were prior to your account following me.

That's easy for you to say, seeing that in less than two years, you've gotten this massive following, while noone even turns a head at mine. I don't have any external validation to keep on going. And if your calling this "Whining", then I guess all protesters wanting a change are just "Complaining too much". Why don't they just work harder instead of droning on and on about there work conditions. I mean look at the comments on this picture. All of them are laughing at a joke that isn't even a joke. That is the power of the sonic fanbase right now. And you know what? I give up. No matter how much proof I give to you people, you just continue saying that "I just need to be patient and work harder" When I've crunched for an entire week making the best art I could and all the credit I got for it was two people saying genieric statements like "this is cool" that mean basically nothing and the person I made it for freaking out. And if that's the best I can out of a week (cont)

of grinding for one picture can get me, then I'm glad my account is deleted. I don't have any hope here any more. Four years and nothing to show for it. Two years and 300 followers laughing at whatever. Noone but people working in fanbases get that liberty. I gave up not because I wasn't trying hard enough (which is complete bull BTW) I gave up because there is no community I can get into. The reason I got so caught up in my followers was because of how some people don't really have to try as hard as me. I couldn't get any more attention without joining a fanbase and I'll never do that. But now that there's such a disconnect between me and all of the sonic fanbase panderers that I felt alone, like walking through an alleyway of thugs trying to be as big as them so I don't have to be afraid. I can walk across them without fear that they'll take something from me. To you, that may seem like an exagerated simile, but that's almost exactly how I feel. (con't)

But I've been trying to get over that. Alot of my freinds now are like that. But now that I lost any chance of getting back on colors and making my mark, I still have that fear. For so long I thought It was anger, that all of this popularity was owed to me and that I've been robbed by people like you, but now I know that anger sprouted from fear. Fear that the best I could do was all in vein. Fear that everything I've worked for will be pointless. All I've done here was a waste of time. That I'll never get to be an comic artist, even if I trained over half of my life for it, because my art wasn't good enough, because so little people cared about it. Is my art good enough, even after eight years. I have to get my art out there, but will anyone see it? are people seeing my art and just not saying anything about it? How can I know that there was a point in talking to you? I lost everything. Four years of work just vanished. Don't tell me I haben't been trying hard enough, (cont.)

protestors do make a change, it may not seem like it but they do. Even if in the smallest ways they blossom change. Yes i gained a fanbase in a short time, but its because i broadened my horizons. i expanded out to people and made friendships i'll never forget, and ive grown to have mentors whom i look up to for advice in my art. If you see my practice drawing where i show practices i have done you will see i credited people i look up to as artists. Yea its not gonna be REMOTELY easy to work hard in your art but that doesnt mean to throw in the towel!

its not that people pander to me because im an anthro artist. its because i welcome them with open arms and clarity that i dont bite. I got mad at you when i went to your account over your rant. You made me personally feel like im a piece of garbage for drawing the way i do. I don't attempt to pander to a community. Its just how i draw, i don't restrict myself from trying new things and testing new creatures to draw.

I'm just here on colors to have a good time tbh. If art isn't your thing that's okay, pick up a new hobby. Try out new things to see what makes you happy and that suits you!

You don't need to search for popularity in what you do, search for a good time. I'm sorry for what i said earlier coming off as rude, i really am. Just dont let whats popular push you from things or tward other things. Let what you like to do push you.

Yeah, I feel reeeaaallyyy comfortable here. I've been afraid, with noone to call a freind because people like you make me afraid that I can't do what I love doing or I can never be an entertainer. Stop telling me that I need to make freinds. Don't tell me that I'm just need to welcome people in, like I've done for three years to no avail. I don't know what confuses you when I say that I'm afraid that my eight years of drawing won't do me any good as noone looks at my picture. No matter how you shake it, how unfreindly and rude I am, you pander. You may say you just draw the work you want to draw, but so do I. You draw Sonic art, ergo you pander to sonic. You're a human ergo you are an omnivore. You might only eat plants, but you're still biologically an omnivore. You may draw Sonic art for fun, but your still pandering to your audience. You're drawing sonic-like art which draws in the sonic fan art. Did I hurt your feelings? Am I being a jerk? Maybe it's because people keep on making the same argument that I have no freinds and art isn't about popularity. I don't care about how popular I am, I just want to be seen and recognised as "good". No matter how unfreindly I am, or how you draw art for fun, People like you make that harder for me, simply by casting a shadow over me. You discourage people like me, not befreind them. You make it harder and more stressful for people like me to continue making art, not inspire them. And there are people like me. We aren't a big group, and most of us stay silent. But I speak for all of them, those too scared to speak up. People like you are why I left this site, People like you removed four years of my hard work because I spoke up. It certainly isn't just you, and you aren't even the big problem, but it's those who post work like yours, those who encourage joining the fad instead of diversity like you do. And it's not on DA, or Tumblr, or any other site but Colors. That's why I keep on complaining, that's why I stopped posting on this site. Because it's the community you keep saying I need to get freindly with that makes it uninviting.

*sigh* thats it... im not doing this anymore just please.. leave me and my account alone..
